It is not worth changing the patch just for this but strbuf_write()
might be clearer (you use it in a later patch)

+     if (ret < 0)
+             error_errno(_("could not append help text to '%s'"), rebase_path_todo());

You should definitely check the return value and return an error if
appropriate as fputs() might not actually write any data until you try
and close the file.

I agree about checking the return value from fputs(), but it seems to
me that we don't usually check the value of fclose().

A quick grep shows you're right, there are only a handful of places where the return value of fclose() is checked (there aren't many checks for the return value of close() either), I'm don't think that is safe though given that write errors may only show up when the file gets flushed by closing it.

Best Wishes

Phillip

Thanks,
